Seems that the market at the top is as dire as it’s been for a long time. Generally, top clubs are looking for managers with a few trophies behind them who have demonstrated their abilities either in European competition or in a respectable league. The cupboard is bare in that respect, and as a result, this could end up being a summer of king making, with opportunities being given to people who would not usually be considered.
The caf’s favourite ‘well run club’ with all the structural implementations you could want have found themselves chasing after anything in a skirt. Rejected by Alonso, begging their former sacked manager to come back, before being rejected by him, begging their current sacked manager to stay and being rejected, rejected by former United interim manager before seemingly settling on a rookie who was just relegated from the PL. Liverpool wanted Alonso and settled for Arne Slot.
Keiran McKenna has found himself coveted at a level that would have probably previously asked for PL experience on the resumé. This summer will see at least one manager come from nowhere and become a Euro household name within a year or two.
